Dragon on Top (Dragon Kin 0.4) by G.A. Aiken

Blurb:

Try a little dragon tenderness.

I am Glheanna the Decimator. I am a warrior. A soldier. I know no fear. No
pain. No mercy. I do, however, know acute embarrassment! How could I not after
getting dumped by a bastard dragon in front of my own troops? So I tuck tail
and return to my cave, drowning my sorrows in ale—as is my family’s way. But
instead of leaving me to my misery, I’ve been summoned to the Dragon Queen’s
court.

As if my life wasn’t pathetic enough, Her Majesty now has me escorting the
highborn Bram the Merciful through dangerous territories—not exactly the best
use of my military training. And just so he can negotiate with enemy dragons
instead of battling them? Honestly, what has my world come to? Then again…Bram
is quite easy on the eyes. And the perfect distraction for what ails me.
Perhaps I’m looking at all this the wrong way. Maybe there is a place for a
little “mercy” in my life…

My review:

I adore Glheanna.
She is a strong female succeeding in a male dominated field. As a warrior she
is an unqualified success as a woman well she has suffered a recent slump.
Maybe she was just looking for love in the wrong place. Bram the Merciful is a
minor royal and a braniac. He has an important job in making treaties to keep
the kingdom safe and it’s warriors underutilized. He has also had a crush on Glheanna
for years. Now she is tasked with keeping him safe while he travels to make a
treaty that will make the Dragon Queen the strongest monarch in centuries. Will
traveling together bring them closer? Only time will tell. This story will make
you laugh and get you thinking. I love this world and want more, more, and more.
